Join us as we celebrate the power of classical performance at State Theatre's annual Classical Season Celebration! On Thursday, October 17, experience a classical immersion by candlelight as pianist Enriqueta Somarriba weaves together classical favorites and beloved pieces by Spanish composers.

The Classical Season Celebration opens with a cocktail reception followed by an intimate candlelit performance in our Studio space—bringing music lovers together for a unique experience to celebrate over 35 years of State Theatre New Jersey's diverse and robust classical programming.

This beautiful evening supports the continued success of our year-round classical and educational programming—including our Symphony Scholars program—key elements of our work to provide access to live arts experiences for our community. 

Elevated cocktail attire preferred.
